All Eyes on Eurovision 2025
This year, many artists will sing. Some of these acts are from the LGBTQ+ community. For example, Adonxs from Czechia, Red Sebastian from Belgium, Marko Bošnjak from Croatia, and Erika Vikman from Finland will perform. One act from Malta, Miriana Conte, had rules change. Her song was first called “Kant.” People thought the title sounded too like a rude word in English, even though it means something different in Maltese. Her song is now called “Serving.” Fans will wait to see if this change affects her chances.
